Hero MotoCorp has introduced the Glamour X 125, a new variant in its 125cc commuter motorcycle range, to offer a more premium experience. This article compares the Hero Glamour X with the existing Hero Glamour to highlight the differences in styling, technology, hardware, engine, and pricing.
Styling and Design
The Hero Glamour has always been recognized as a practical commuter bike. The Glamour X, however, takes a step forward with a modern design, featuring an H-shaped headlamp, a compact visor, ‘X’ badging, and a revised body for a sportier appearance.
Technological Upgrades
The Glamour X offers significant tech enhancements. It is equipped with a digital instrument panel with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, and adjustable brightness. A notable feature is the inclusion of cruise control, which is a first in the 125cc segment in India. It also has ride-by-wire technology and different riding modes.
Hardware and Components
Both bikes share similar hardware. Suspension includes telescopic forks in the front and twin shock absorbers in the rear. Braking options include a front disc brake or rear drum brake; neither has ABS. Both also feature 18-inch alloy wheels, making them suitable for daily commutes.
